A great video on practical resistance to Nazi organizing! It's less than 5 minutes long and super simple :)

Thought this was a great video on practical resistance, it's less than 5 minutes long and super simple!

Dave2D reviews the legion steamOS version compared to the windows version, and talks about the differences in performance and user experience

Had a really good time, I'm really glad we made signs :)

I'm not awake during the day generally so I'm kinda thinking now, maybe a way I can contribute is making signs for people to pass out or give away as a way I can contribute

There were people out handing out cookies and donuts which was pretty cool too :)

Didnt get any pictures cause my phone was turned off but there were a ton of people driving by filming

It was honestly really fun, I expected to to feel like a necessary and important chore, but it was super fun waving to every car and trying to get people to honk, and shouting

There were times where it felt like everyone at the major intersection we were at were honking simultaneously and it was kinda incredible 😅 I imagine it helps a lot we were in a fairly blue area in my state

We went to a smaller protest location instead of the main one in our area so we expected it to be really small and peeter out early but it was way bigger than either my friend or I expected

Overall it was really nice, I got to chat with folks, there were folks passing out food so I got a free cookie and donut, got to wave at cars, see people and sometimes little kids in the back seat wave back, try and get moving trucks and whatnot to honk (a good number did lol), only downside is I'm pretty sunburnt cause afterwards we went strawberry picking lol. I'm sure not all protests are fun, but as a first time experience it was a lot more fun that I expected

Walking away from it I feel a bit more connected to my community and I love that feeling

This video is super important, I just reuploaded it to peertube so people can watch without instagram

Thank you to bacon_pdp who posted the original Instagram link on lemmy where I saw it! I just knew people wouldn't want to watch it through instagram

Edit: I removed the HELP and extra question mark from the end since I've now left it be outside and don't need a advice. I thought the cross post would include the body text from the first post on !cat@lemmy.world so I guess I accidentally left out all the other pictures and additional info, oops

I was able to build some trust and now it's extremely friendly, I live in an apartment complex with no pet doors in central NC, should I bring it inside and see if it's chipped in the morning? I don't wanna leave it outside if it might have no home, but I don't wanna steal someone's cat

It looks like an adolescent or a late kitten? The collar has nothing on it, it's just a piece of white flexible plastic with a buckle...

Removed the "HELP" since people in the other thread were able to help me figure out that I should leave it be outside

Due to a sleep disorder it's hard for me to participate (I'm not awake during the day) but if I know what's happening when and can try to plan around it I might be able to sometimes

How do you find out what protests are happening? Any guidance for staying in the loop so I can see if there are any I can be a part of?

Sounds like there are a lot of exemptions which is disappointing

Listen to the sound of Wikipedia's recent changes feed. Bells indicate additions and string plucks indicate subtractions. Pitch changes according to the size of the edit; the larger the edit, the deeper the note. Green circles show edits from unregistered contributors, and purple circles mark edits performed by automated bots. You may see announcements for new users as they join the site, punctuated by a string swell. You can welcome him or her by clicking the blue banner and adding a note on their talk page.

I adore this site. I learned about it from the internet is beautiful sub eons ago and I still come back to it when I want background noise but all my options feel like too specific of a sound. Its just a lovely little mix of chimes and swells and you can toggle which languages to include to tune how frequent you want them to be

The fediverse is small, and thats both a blessing and a curse - one of its several blessings is that in a smaller space we all individually have a bigger impact on what the culture of this space is like.

On this comm (and on lemmy broadly) there's a lot of discussion about how to grow the fediverse, what to improve, but an easy thing you can do for the fediverse is right in front of us-

• Be kind

• Ask people what they think, and why

• Approach folks you disagree with with curiosity rather than hostility (EDIT: no, this is not specifically referring to Nazis. I get it, they're the first thing that comes to mind. I'm not telling you to approve of Nazis I'm just saying be kind to your fellow lemmites)

• Engage sincerely

• Ask yourself if there's something nice you can say

• Make this small space worth being in

A platform lives or dies by what's available on said platform and often we have this conversation in the context of "content" or posts - and we may never have as much content as reddit does. But content and posts aren't the only thing this kind of platform offers- it also offers people. It offers community, and human interaction.

Culture and community is lemmy and the fediverse's biggest differentiator, and we all have a role to play in shaping the culture of this space.

The biggest thing you can do to help the fediverse is make it a place worth being.
